Both the crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed him kept shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!"

Seeing a fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. He told it, "May fruit never come from you again!" And immediately the fig tree dried up.

Where did John's authority to baptize come from? From heaven or from humans?"

But when the tenant farmers saw his son, they told one another, "This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him and get his inheritance!'

He sent his servants to call those who had been invited to the wedding, but they refused to come.

So he sent other servants after saying, "Tell those who have been invited, "Look! I've prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened calves have been slaughtered. Everything is ready. Come to the wedding!"'

I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, "How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

because many will come in my name and say, "I'm the Messiah,' and they will deceive many people.

You'll hear of wars and rumors of wars. See to it that you aren't alarmed. These things must take place, but the end hasn't come yet,

And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

Anyone who's on the housetop must not come down to get what is in his house,

because just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

"No one knows when that day or hour will come not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father,

because just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.

They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

So you, too, must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you are not expecting."

How blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing this when he comes!

that servant's master will come on a day when he doesn't expect him and at an hour that he doesn't know.

But at midnight there came a shout: "The groom is here! Come out to meet him!'

"His master told him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you've been trustworthy with a small amount, I'll put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!'

"His master told him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you've been trustworthy with a small amount, I'll put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!'

"When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.

At this point, Jesus asked the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit? Day after day I sat teaching in the Temple, yet you didn't arrest me.

But they couldn't find any, even though many false witnesses had come forward. At last two men came forward

and saying, "You who were going to destroy the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days save yourself! If you're the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

"He saved others but can't save himself! He is the king of Israel. Let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

But the others kept saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah will come and save him."

Suddenly, there was a powerful earthquake, because an angel of the Lord had come down from heaven, approached the stone, rolled it away, and was sitting on top of it.

He is not here. He has been raised, just as he said. Come and see the place where he was lying.

"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the Holy One of God!"

But Jesus rebuked him. "Be quiet," he ordered, "and come out of him!"

When Jesus heard that, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a physician, but sick ones do. I did not come to call righteous people, but sinners."

But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day."

He told the man with the paralyzed hand, "Come forward."

The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem kept repeating, "He has Beelzebul," and, "He drives out demons by the ruler of demons."

So if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand. Indeed, his end has come.

He told them, "The secret about the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside, everything comes in parables

Some people are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. When they hear it, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

but since they don't have any roots, they last for only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes along because of the word, they immediately fall away.

but the worries of life, the deceitful pleasures of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke the word so that it can't produce a crop.

Nothing is hidden except for the purpose of having it revealed, and nothing is secret except for the purpose of having it come to light.

But when the grain is ripe, he immediately starts cutting with his sickle because the harvest time has come."

when it's planted it comes up and becomes larger than all the garden plants. It grows such large branches that the birds in the sky can nest in its shade."

That day, when evening had come, he told them, "Let's cross to the other side."

Jesus had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

and begged him urgently, saying, "My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on her so that she may get well and live."

He told them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while," because so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.

When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, while he was alone on the land.

The Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus.

Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. It's what comes out of a person that makes a person unclean.

Then he continued, "It's what comes out of a person that makes a person unclean,

because it's from within, from the human heart, that evil thoughts come, as well as sexual immorality, stealing, murder,

All these things come from inside and make a person unclean."

If I send them away to their homes hungry, they'll faint on the road. Some of them have come a long distance."

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes with the holy angels in his Father's glory."

So they asked him, "Don't the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

But I tell you that Elijah has come, yet people treated him just as they pleased, as it is written about him."

When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You spirit that won't let him talk or hear I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!"

He told them, "This kind can come out only by prayer and fasting."

When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these.

Jesus looked at him and loved him. Then he told him, "You're missing one thing. Go and sell everything you own, give the money to the destitute, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come back and follow me."

who will not receive a hundred times as much here in this world homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, along with persecution as well as eternal life in the age to come.

because even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people."

Those who went ahead and those who followed him were shouting, "Hosanna! How blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

But those farmers told one another, "This is the heir. Come on, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'

"Now what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come, execute the farmers, and give the vineyard to others.

Many will come in my name and say, "I AM,' and they will deceive many people.

But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, stop being alarmed. These things must take place, but the end hasn't come yet,

The one who's on his housetop must not come down and go into his house to take anything out of it,

"No one knows when that day or hour will come not the angels in heaven, not the Son, but only the Father.

Be careful! Watch out! Because you don't know when the time will come.

Otherwise, he may come suddenly and find you asleep.

He came back a third time. "Are you still sleeping and resting?" he asked. "Enough of that! The time has come. Look! The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Jesus asked them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit?

save yourself and come down from the cross!"

Let the Messiah, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, since seeing is believing!" Even the men who were crucified with him kept insulting him.

So someone ran and soaked a sponge in some sour wine. Then he put it on a stick and offered Jesus a drink, saying, "Wait! Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down!"

They used to accompany him and care for him while he was in Galilee. Many other women who had come up to Jerusalem with him were there, too.

Very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had just come up, they were going to the tomb.

But when he did come out, he was unable to speak to them. Then they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept motioning to them but remained unable to speak.

The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come over you, and the power of the Most High will surround you. Therefore, the child will be holy and will be called the Son of God.

"Oh, no! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are the Holy One of God!"

But Jesus rebuked him. "Be quiet," he said, "and come out of him!" At this, the demon threw the man down in the middle of the synagogue and came out of him without hurting him.

Overwhelmed with amazement, they all kept saying to one another, "What kind of statement is this? because with authority and power he gives orders to unclean spirits, and they come out!"

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats until the boats began to sink.

One day, as Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and teachers of the Law happened to be sitting nearby. The people had come from every village in Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was present to heal them.

I have not come to call righteous people, but sinners, to repentance."

But the time will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and at that time they will fast."

They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Even those who were being tormented by unclean spirits were being healed.

I will show you what everyone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them.

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him to ask him to come and save his servant's life.

So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to tell Jesus, "Sir, stop troubling yourself, because I'm not worthy to have you come under my roof.

That's why I didn't presume to come to you. But just say the word, and let my servant be healed,

because I, too, am a man under authority and have soldiers under me. I say to one "Go' and he goes, to another "Come' and he comes, and to my servant "Do this' and he does it."

When the men had come to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, "Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?'"

Because John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, yet you say, "He has a demon!'

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look! He's a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

The ones on the path are the people who listen, but then the Devil comes and takes the word away from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

"No one lights a lamp and hides it under a bowl or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a lamp stand so that those who come in will see the light.
